Get to Know Us

Questions we hear most

What is it like to partner with TELEO?

From the time we engage during diligence, you'll find a team that is all-in — as much as you need us to be — and focused on delivering scale and permanence. We provide capital, strategic thought, and operational resources, then work shoulder-to-shoulder with management to execute the business plan.

What distinguishes TELEO from other firms?

Carve-outs are our founding competency, not a capability we added later. We've executed more than 15 of them across software, technology, and services. Our operating partners are former CEOs, CFOs, CTOs, and COOs who step in and execute rather than advise from the sidelines.

Does the target company need to be profitable?

No. Profitability is not required. We understand that a carve-out may be complex, messy, or subscale — that is our sweet spot. We don't need a perfect asset; we need a good one with potential and a clear path to value creation.

What makes a company a fit for TELEO?

We target lower middle-market companies with $10M–$100M in revenue and platform investments of $10M–$30M. We look for recurring revenue, a scalable cost structure, success-based capex, and underutilized or non-core assets — particularly in software & technology, healthcare IT, business services, and industrial sectors.

How quickly can TELEO move?

Speed and certainty of close are hallmarks of every TELEO transaction. There are no bureaucratic investment committees between you and a closed deal — our principals make decisions directly, run lean and targeted diligence, and engage early to keep process momentum.
